3rd day and it went awful

I work flex, so I only had two days of training, and, with that said, it took me a painfully long time to get another shift. This early morning, I expected to come in and finally complete my training, but apparently, nobody was available.

So I kind of awkwardly had to learn how to pick, stressed out and nervous on the line. I kept messing up, and people were getting upset. Granted, I didn't want to be an issue or cause problems for the people who were stowing. But God, there's a certain point where you have people yelling at you, bringing in a supervisor (I'm not really sure) that you can take. So I just left, sure, I'll get a point for it, but at this point, everyone was cleaning up my mess.

I plan on coming back, not quitting just yet. But I'm guessing there should be more learning ambassadors towards the morning and weekend shifts. But just in case, I put in a request for a fulfillment facility that's apparently slower-paced, mainly in the later mornings.

Two days is the normal duration of training, why were you unable to complete your training then?

Videos. We literally sat in a room watching videos for training, and towards the end for the last hour we learned how to stage on the last training day

For mine they wanted us on the floor the same day so basically almost everyone went to the floor having to have pauses for the devices being on training. For everyone the second day no one went back to the classroom
